snow

This week's storm dumped 2 feet of snow on us and knocked out power at my house for over 12 hours. It snowed all day and night on Tuesday, a heavy wet snow that bent and broke trees and power lines. One neighborhood some miles from here is still without power. The temperatures are warm, though, so the white blanket is quickly melting. This shot of Lions Head was taken a few minutes after 6 am Wednesday with the canon 30d 28-135mm lens at 28mm and f8. Shutter speed was 1/13 second. I used a tripod and mirror lockup.

I had my first hummingbird sighting today and shot a few quick pics of her near my feeder. Nearly noon, the light was not perfect, but I'll have a look at those shots later and perhaps post one.
